- Something strikes me as odd about this. Since QIC-150 is an 18-track ser-
- pentine recording system, that means that a backup followed by a compare
- operation will consume 36 passes, leaving -14 available by the completion
- of the restore.
-
- Is it possible they meant 40 complete backup cycles?
